On July 21st, 2011, [[User:Dronian|Dronain]] founded Trollpasta Wiki. Creepypasta Wiki only allowed [http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Troll_Pasta a handful of trollpastas on their site], so Trollpasta Wiki was created in order to be a site only dedicated to trollpastas. Trollasta Wiki's content ranged from being ALL CAPS poorly written garbage about random things, making fun of certain creepypastas and creepypasta cliches, and eventually hosting [[:Category:Deletion Log Refugees|deleted]] [[:Category:Pasta Trying To Be Good When It Sucks Enough To Be A Troll|failpastas]] from Creepypasta Wiki. Dronian was the only one running the site at the time, that is up until June 20th, 2012 when he made [[User:Furbearingbrick|Furbearingbrick]] (Fur) an admin. 4 months later, [[User:LOLSKELETONS|LOLSKELETONS]] (Skelly) joined the wiki, and started helping out. Fur took notice of Skelly, and suggested that he should apply for adminship. So he did just that, and [[User talk:Dronian#Admin_2|asked Dronian if he could be an admin]]. Dronain agreed, and made Skelly an admin on November 13th, 2012. Together, Fur and Skelly helped the site out with category organization, adding deleted pastas from Creepypasta Wiki, and blocked people who didn't update [[Project:List|The List]] within 24 minutes. However, problems started accruing in January 2013 with troublesome anonymous users.
 
An anon [[User talk:Furbearingbrick/Talk Archive 1#Duplicate images|started harassing Fur]] [[User talk:Furbearingbrick/Talk Archive 1#Blocked, (Not Raging)|on her talk page]], making threats, and ranting about how "corrupt" she and the other Creepypasta Wiki staff were. Fur went to Dronian about this, and proposed that anonymous editing should be disabled. Skelly and a user by the name "[[User:TheShadyNerd|TheShadyNerd]]" supported this proposal. A few days later, [[User talk:Dronian#HELP|Fur went to Dronian once again, but this time in a crisis]]. She suggested that anonymous editing should once again be disabled due to the anon vandalizing pages and switching IPs, and also suggested that TheShadyNerd should be an admin to help combat these problems. While anonymous editing didn't get disabled, the issues with the troublesome anon eventually got resolved.
 
On February 7th, 2013, TheShadyNerd [[User talk:Dronian|applied for adminship]]. Dronian agreed, and made him an admin on the same day. 1 month later on March 13th, 2013, Skelly [[User talk:Dronian#LOLSKELETONS' Application for Bureaucrat |applied for bureaucrat rights]], stating that "the wiki has become too big for only five admins and one bureaucrat." Despite the app gaining a lot of support, Dronain wasn't so sure about it. After(more nearlyon athat monthlater). ofDuring thinking, Dronain finallythis agreedtime, andanother madeuser Skellywas arecently bureaucratmaking onthe Aprilrounds. 9th, 2013.And Dronianthat hasuser sincewould becomebe inactiveme.
 
With Skelly seemingly taking over as the boss of the site, he decided to promote another user who was recently making the rounds. And that user would be me. I joined the wiki November 12th, 2012 (1 day before Skelly became an admin). I forget how I discovered this site, but when I joined, I had no intentions of editing or helping in any way. I only wanted to write trollpastas (really terrible ones at that). [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log/block?page=User%3AGodzillaFan1 I got blocked twice for not updating the list], [[User:GodzillaFan1/Talk Archive 1#Categories Reminder|and I received a warning about adding categories that weren't on the]] [[Project:Genre Listing|Category List]]. The first time I got blocked, I [http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/User:GodzillaFan1?diff=prev&oldid=302742 added this to my profile on Creepypasta Wiki]. So things weren't looking too good for me. However, on March 21st, 2013, I took a break from making trollpastas, and [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/The_Shadow_Lurkers?diff=prev&oldid=35018 started editing more]. Skelly took notice of my editing, [[User:GodzillaFan1/Talk Archive 1#Hello|and messaged me asking if I was interested in helping out in the]] [[User blog:LOLSKELETONS/Category Reorganization Update|category reorganization effort]]. I agreed, and started removing [[:Category:Unneeded|unneeded categories]] from pages. However, I couldn't edit protected pages, so that kind of slowed down the process of getting rid of the categories. But after two days of cleaning-up the site, [[User talk:Dronian#HAU DRONIAN|Skelly suggested to Dronian that I should become a rollback]]. On the same day Skelly left the message (March 28th, 2013), Dronian decided to make me a rollback.
 
After nearly a month since Skelly's bureaucrat app, Dronian was still undecided on whether or not he should give Skelly the rights. But Skelly couldn't wait much longer, he needed an an answer sooner rather than later. [[User talk:Dronian#I need halp|So he messaged Dronian once again, wanting a definite answer]]. Dronian finally gave in, and made Skelly a bureaucrat on April 9th, 2013. On the same day, Skelly with his newly granted bureaucrat abilities [[User:GodzillaFan1/Talk Archive 1#HAI U (UPDAYT)|promoted me to adminship]]. It's also interesting to note that since that day, Dronian has become inactive. TheShadyNerd also became inactive, which he was later demoted because of it.
<small><s>I found Skelly's [[User blog:LOLSKELETONS/Category Reorganization Update|Category Reorganization Update]] blog post. I commented on the post, giving suggestions on what categories should be deleted. This encouraged me to edit, so I started getting rid of [[:Category:Unneeded|unneeded categories]] from pages.</s></small>
 
While things were looking bright for the future of Trollpasta Wiki, some shady things were going on behind the scenes.

It was about two weeks after I became an admin. I was in the chat talking to two random users I just met for the first time, [[User:TheToaMaster|TheToaMaster]] (Toa), and [[User:Trigger Hurt|Trigger Hurt]] (Trigger). Toa showed me a wiki of his, the [http://have-fun.wikia.com/wiki/Have_Fun_Wiki Have Fun Wiki]. I wanted to help him out with it, so I took a break from Trollpasta Wiki, and focused on the Have Fun Wiki. Me, Toa, and Trigger would chat on Have Fun Wiki regularly. Toa and Trigger were messing around with sock accounts, and would often roleplay with them. Toa gave me the passwords to some of his sock accounts so I could join in on the roleplaying fun. Me and Toa decided to bring the fun outside of the Have Fun Wiki chat, and raided other wiki chats with the accounts. Needless to say, we were having the time of our lives goofing around with the accounts. It was so fun that I decided I would take my socking fun to the next level... by vandalizing wikis. Silly me thought I could vandalize pages and get away with it. This was because I had no idea about "global bans" at the time. A global ban is where Wikia bans your IP address from editing on all wikis. Had I known this, I probably wouldn't have vandalized. But let's continue.
<big><big><big>'''NOTE: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SOME CHAPTERS BELOW THIS POINT WILL BE OVERHAULED OR REMOVED. CONTINUE READING AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!1'''</big></big></big>▼
 
For vandalizing wikis, I used one sock account, [[User:EVIL PATRIXXX|EVIL PATRIXXX]]. My first "victim" was the Call of Duty Wiki. I inserted random images, and false information on one of the pages. I eventually went on to the Mario Wiki, Nintendo Wiki, and a few others. I got away with it for about a week, until May 10th, 2013. [http://donkeykong.wikia.com/wiki/King_K._Rool?diff=31352&oldid=31348 I was vandalizing King K. Rool's article on the Donkey Kong Wiki]. Someone undid my edit, so I tried vandalizing it again. But instead of the editor popping up, I got a message telling me that my IP address has been banned from May 10th - August 10th. I went to other wikis, and got the same message. I was on the Have Fun Wiki chat while all of this was happening, so naturally, I started losing my mind in the chat. If I left the chat, I could never reenter for 3 months. So I stayed on for as long as I could, until Toa "joke" kicked me off the chat for whatever reason.
'''''My Beginning''''' ''<-- This chapter will be removed soon.''
 
I was really upset, because I had duties to fulfill on Trollpasta Wiki, and I didn't want to be away from it for 3 whole months. But luckily, I discovered a glitch where I could unblock myself for about 30 seconds. I have no idea why the glitch happened, or what triggered it, and it seemed to happen at random. I used it at any chance I got, but I mainly used it for chatting, because even after the glitch stopped working after 30 seconds, it wouldn't kick out of chat, so I could stay on for as long as I wanted. However, the glitch stopped working sometime in June, so I stopped checking Wikia for a while.
'''''<small>(November 2012 - May 2013)</small>'''''
 
Fast forward to August 3rd, 2013. I decided to check Wikia because I hadn't checked it in a while. I went to my profile on Have Fun Wiki, and the "BLOCKED" tag wasn't showing up next to my name. At first I thought the self-unblocking glitch came back. But then I edited a few pages, and that's when I realized my global blocked expired 1 week early. I don't know why it did, but hey, I didn't complain.
I joined the wiki on November 12th, 2012. The only thing I did was create shitty spam pastas, and had no intentions of editing. I even got [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log/block?page=User%3AGodzillaFan1 banned twice for not updating the article listings]. The first time I got blocked, I [http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/User:GodzillaFan1?diff=prev&oldid=302742 added this to my profile on the Creepypasta Wiki]. Real mature, am I right?
 
I returned to Trollpasta Wiki, but not to edit, but to advertise the Have Fun Wiki on chat. The wiki wasn't getting much traffic, so I was trying to spread the word of it to gain more active users. That didn't necessarily work out, but I eventually stopped the advertising, and started visiting the chat regularly just to hang out and talk. I was on the chat almost everyday though out the year of 2013, and met a ton of new people, some which eventually became an admin. Like [[User:SOMEGUY123|SOMEGUY123]], [[User:Fatal Disease|Fatal Disease]], [[User:Haramonia|Haramonia]], and [[User:Superplankofdeath|Superplankofdeath]]. The Trollpasta Wiki community was growing faster than ever, and many users were becoming admins, chat mods, and rollbacks. Our staff at the time was massive. In fact, we had about 9 admins at one point.
[http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/Mario_is_evil?diff=prev&oldid=34915 March 21st 2013] and onward. I start helping out the wiki by removing unnecessary categories from pages. LOLSKELETONS (I'll refer to him as "Skelly") noticed how I've been [[User:GodzillaFan1/Talk Archive 1#Hello|"quite the contributer lately"]], and asked if I wanted to help out with the [[User blog:LOLSKELETONS/Category Reorganization Update|category reorganization effort]]. I agreed to help, and two days later I became a rollback.
 
All was good, and Trollpasta Wiki was better than ever. Then drama occurred.
April 9th, 2013. Skelly just became a bureaucrat, and one of the first things he did [[User:GodzillaFan1/Talk Archive 1#HAI U UPDAYT)|was make me an admin]]. I was pretty ecstatic about this, because I've always wanted to be admin ever since I started helping out. Though, I never did ask for it.
 
I continued to help out the wiki frequently, until May 10th, 2013. What happened on that day? Well, let me explain.

In early May, I thought it would be a GREAT idea to vandalize multiple wikis under a [[User:EVIL PATRIXXX|sock-puppet account]]. This got my sock account blocked on multiple wikis, and even my IP. On May 10th, 2013, I was doing my thing. Vandalizing shit on other wikis. In this case, on the [http://donkeykong.wikia.com/wiki/King_K._Rool?diff=prev&oldid=31352 Donkey Kong Wiki]. After I got done with that, I noticed that my main account was blocked. Not just on that wiki, but ALL wikis. Wikia had enough of my bullshit, and blocked my IP for 4 months, meaning I wouldn't get unblocked until August 10th, 2013. I was on the Have Fun Wiki chat when this was happening, so I started losing my shit. If I left the chat, I could never re-enter it again for good 4 months. So I wanted to stay on for as long as possible. However, TheToaMaster joke kicked me off the chat for whatever reason.
 
Early May 2013 was an extremely tough time for me in terms of Wikia. My blog on the Fantendo Wiki on why Call of Duty "sucks" was getting 400+ comments, all going against me, (I would love to link it, but it's been since deleted) which really stressed me out. [http://have-fun.wikia.com/wiki/The_History_of_Have_Fun_Wiki And the Have Fun Wiki was getting overthrown by 343]. Yeah, I had all that shit going on, plus I get global blocked. And to be honest, I deserved it. All of it. Except maybe the shit that was going on the Have Fun Wiki. That was bullshit.
 
Despite being global blocked, I could sometimes edit. Yeah, Wikia had this weird bug where you would temporarily get unblocked (and when I mean "temporarily", I mean like 30 seconds.) It seemed to work at random. But sometimes I would get it to work just by staying on a user's page for about a minute. Upon this discovery, I abused the bug heavily. Unfortunately for me, the bug stopped working in late June 2013.
 
August 3rd, 2013. My ban was originally supposed to end on August 10th. However, I got unbanned on the 3rd for some reason. This day is a special to me. In June, [http://have-fun.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:GodzillaFan1/Have_Fun_Wiki_2.0 I told myself I was going to act more mature and lay off the troll grammar]. Beforehand, I was very immature, obnoxious, cringeworhty, and I wouldn't stop using troll grammar, even on sites that weren't the Trollpasta Wiki. It was quite annoying, and gave me a bad image. I changed up my act, because I wanted to be taken seriously and treated with respect. If it weren't for that block, I probably wouldn't be the same person as I am today. Some I'm very grateful for that, and is why I cherish that day so much.
 
I returned to the Trollpasta Wiki, but didn't really edit much. Instead, I went to work on another wiki I was on; the Have Fun Wiki. The Have Fun Wiki wasn't getting much traffic, so I decided to advertise it via the Trollpasta Wiki chat. While I was doing that, I met Fatal Disease (who later became admin). We talked for awhile, and became very good friends.
 
At this point, I started caring about the Trollpasta Wiki again, and became obsessed with the chat. I was on the chat almost everyday though out the year, and met a ton of new people. Some of which who eventually became admin. Like SOMEGUY123, Haramonia, and Superplankofdeath. The Trollpasta Wiki community was growing really fast, and many users were becoming admin and chat mods. In fact, we were a bit overstaffed.

*The first thing I said on chat was me calling something "gay". Skelly PM'd me and told me not to use "gay" as an insult because "it might offend someone". I always found that funny.
*I applied for bureaucrat in October 2013. However, it was rejected and SOMEGUY123 was made bureaucrat instead.
*I used to holddo [http://godzillafan1s-sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/TPW_Tier_List monthly Trollpasta Wiki tier lists] in 2014 on my sandbox wiki. I only did March - July, however.
*I've always thought about retiring as far back as 2014. The thought always popped in my mind for some reason.
*I was originally going to make a "Goodbye" blog on August 3rd relating to my retirement. But while I was writing it, the words just wouldn't come to me, so I canceled it.
